Why? Because apparently they need some more incentive to keep units occupied. Also, even though a property might be vacant, there's still imputed rental income there. Its owner is just receiving it in the form of enjoying the unit for himself instead of receiving an actual rent check from a tenant. That imputed rent ought to be taxed like any other income.

This is an opinion piece on something that might slightly effect rent. If this is personal finance related than so is literally every economic or business article ever written. Because everything can maybe effect someone's rent or other expenses.

I'm going to be honest, I see where you come from, and how this is not textbook personal finance.

However, Lemmy is still in its very infancy, and I try to keep this community active. It's not always easy to find content to post (most of the PF subreddit is usually questions from users), so here it is.

By the way, if you have any interesting content or question, feel free to post as well!
